Cornwall's election count will be overnight

I can reveal that after some dithering, it has been decided that the general election votes cast in Cornwall on 6th May will be counted overnight after all. Cornwall Council's chief executive Kevin Lavery, as the senior returning officer, had been keen to count "drekly" once staff had woken up the next day. Now the latest, and somewhat sterner advice from the Electoral Commission, has steered us towards the more traditional approach to democracy.
